3 Description

The INA790x is a voltage output, current sense

amplifier with an integrated shunt resistor of 400μΩ.

The INA790x is designed to monitor bidirectional

current over a common-mode range of –4V to 110V,

independent of the supply voltage. Adjustable gain

option assists in optimizing the system dynamic

range. The integration of the Kelvin connected shunt

resistor with a zero-drift chopped amplifier provides

calibration equivalent measurement accuracy, ultra-

low temperature drift performance of ±35ppm/°C, and

an optimized layout for the sensing resistor.

The INA790x is designed with enhanced PWM

rejection circuitry to suppress disturbance from large

(dv/dt) common-mode transients and enable real-

time continuous current measurements in switching

systems. The continuous measurements are critical

for inline current measurements in a motor-drive

application, and for solenoid valve control application.

This device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V power

supply, drawing a maximum of 4.25mA of supply

current. All versions are specified over the extended

operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and

are available in a 15-pin VQFN package.
